Google doodle celebrates FIFA World Cup 2014 start

Google has dedicated an interactive doodle on its homepage to mark the start of the FIFA World Cup 2014. The FIFA World Cup 2014 begins today in Brazil with a Croatia facing off against the host country in the first match of the world's greatest gaming spectacle.

The interactive doodle begins by showing a yellow and blue coloured footballbouncing towards the centre of the screen from the left.
The ball halts in the centre of the screen, at which point the letters making up the word Google come alive and begin to jump up and down.
With the letters dancing in the foreground, the vista of Rio de Janeiro spreads open behind them.
Golden sands and palm trees are seen along with cable cars conveying passengers to and from the top of the city's iconic Sugar Loaf Mountain.
The statue of Christ the Redeemer watches the carnival scene impassively.
The month long event will be held in 12 different cities of Brazil. The FIFA World Cup returns to the football crazy nation after 64 years. The last time Brazil hosted the show was in 1950.
